Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Crepes

What are these crepes made of?

Flour - GF all-purpose flour was used for this recipe, but fine oat flour would work as well. You can also use almond flour for a low carb protein crepe recipe.
AstroFlav Chocolate protein powder - Makes this recipe high-protein and also makes for a nutty and chocolatey taste.
Almond milk - Unsweetened to keep calories and fat low. Extra milk called for in this recipe creates a runny, smooth batter for thin crepes.
Egg - Helps the batter form together and keep the crepes together.
Greek yogurt - Adds additional protein to the filling.
Sweetener of choice - Can use stevia, Monk fruit, honey, etc.. to help sweeten up the Greek yogurt.

TIPS FOR CREATING THESE PROTEIN CREPES

If batter is too thick, slowly add more milk to create a runny batter. This will make the crepes nice and thin.
The recipe does not call for baking powder or baking soda. Don't add into batter as it will make the crepes fluff up like pancakes.
Using a nonstick pan will ensure that crepes spread evenly and don't stick to the pan.
Swirl to spread the batter in a circular motion to create a large circle crepe. This way you will have a thin, foldable crepe.

TOPPING IDEAS FOR THESE HIGH PROTEIN CREPES

Since this recipe only calls for 4 ingredients, you can spruce up the crepes with some of your favorite healthy toppings.

Here are a few ideas:

Berries - strawberries & blueberries
Crushed granola
Dried fruit - cranberries, blueberries, apricots, etc...
Nuts & seeds - Almond flakes, coconut flakes, chia seeds
Nut butter - Almond butter, peanut butter, cashew butter, etc!
SF or natural maple syrup

Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Crepes

INGREDIENTS:

40 grams of flour (I used GF 1-1 all purpose)
1 scoop AstroFlav Chocolate Peanut Butter IsoMix
1 egg
100 ml unsweetened vanilla almond milk

Greek yogurt filling:

1/2 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
1/2 scoop AstroFlav Vanilla IsoMix
1 TBS SF maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)

DIRECTIONS:

In a small bowl mix dry ingredients together.
Add egg and almond milk into the bowl. Whisk until a smooth consistency forms.
Heat a small nonstick pan on low-medium and spray pan with nonstick cooking oil.
Slowly pour batter onto the pan and swirl in a circular motion to form a circle.
Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the surface of the crepe begins to bubble. Crepe should be large across the pan and very thin.
Flip carefully and cook the other side for another minute.
Remove from pan and repeat with the rest of the batter.
Spread Greek yogurt filling on one half of the crepe and roll from one side to the other. Repeat with remaining crepes.
Top with your favorite toppings! I chose banana slices and peanut butter drizzle.

Substitutes:

Flour: Can use oat flour, all-purpose, or almond flour instead of GF flour.
Egg: Swap the egg for a flax egg by mixing 2 tbs of flax with 2 tbs of water.
Almond milk: Can use dairy milk, oat milk, or coconut milk.
To make vegan: swap IsoMix with AstroFlav VeganMix & Greek yogurt with coconut/soy yogurt.
